WOMEN'S TAX RESISTANCE LEAGUEBiblio.com

Silver basket owned by the suffragette Lizzie Emma Turquand.

1852183532Sheffield: 1852. No Vote No Tax A Victorian silver cake basket seized in lieu of taxes. Turquand belonged to the Tax Resistance League TRL and in May 1912 refused to pay her house duty as a protest against women's disenfranchisement. In due course this family heirloom was confiscated by a bailiff. Turquand reclaimed it at auction after giving a speech on the urgency of women's suffrage. Lizzie Emma Turquand 1857-1943 was a member of multiple women's suffrage organizations in addition to the TRL and worked as a secretary and a teacher. She sent a letter to the Income Tax Offices explaining her refusal to pay her taxes which concluded "to force women out of the their earnings to pay salaries to Cabinet Ministers and M.P.'s to legislate for men who through the ballot box command attention and consideration is to me such gross injustice that I offer no apology for my action". The ensuing seizure of the basket was "formal but friendly" and the bailiff acted with "forbearance and politeness" Norwood News p. 5. The TRL seized the opportunity of the auction to promote their cause and on 14 May arrived at the auction house in large numbers bearing banners and placards. Although their presence in the auction room was unexpected the auctioneers dealers and other attendants treated them with good humour. The auctioneer permitted Turquand to give a speech on her decision to resist taxation; her remarks were met with cheers and a chorus of "For she's a jolly good fellow". The usual attendees declined to bid for the basket so that it could be purchased by a fellow member of the TRL. Turquand thanked the auctioneer for his kind manner and commented that similar sales all over the country were being met with the same "courteous treatment and sympathy" Norwood News p. 5. Turquand was reunited with the basket following the auction and continued to resist taxation which resulted in a similar confiscation and demonstration the following year. Items which so vividly represent the efforts of the Tax Resistance League to publicise the mantra "No Vote No Tax" are unusual in both commerce and institutions. The London Museum holds a comparable example: a gold bracelet seized in lieu of tax from the suffragette Edith How-Martyn. Provenance: from the collection of the suffrage historian Elizabeth Crawford. Sterling silver bowl with handle 253 x 95 mm by Henry Wilkinson elaborately fluted and embellished in ornate floral design later engravings in the centre "Sold for King's Taxes 1912 Woman Suffrage" and "L. E. Turquand 1913". A few spots of scraping and discolouration residue of polish in grooves of floral design overall bright and clean barely tarnished: in very good condition.

[The Crucial 1944 Treblinka Testimony from a Sonderkommando Resistance Fighter] Wiernik, Jankiel (Yankel Vyernik)Biblio.com

A YOR IN TREBLINKE. TREBLINKA

194443339Nyu-York: Farlag 1944. 1st American Edition. Paper Wrappers 8vo 61 pages. Includes illustrations. 22 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as "A Year in Treblinka." Translation of Rok w Treblince. Jankiel Yankel Yaakov or Jacob Wiernik 1889-1972 was a "Polish-Jewish Holocaust survivor who was an influential figure in the Treblinka extermination camp resistance. He had been forced to work as a Sonderkommando slave worker there where an estimated 700000-900000 people mostly Jews were murdered. After his escape during the uprising of 2 August 1943 Wiernik reached Warsaw and joined the resistance. He also wrote a clandestine account of the camp's operation A Year in Treblinka which was copied and translated for printing in London and the US in English and Yiddish. Following World War II Wiernik testified at Ludwig Fischer's trial in 1947. He left Poland emigrating first to Sweden and then to the new state of Israel. In 1961 he testified at Adolf Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem. He returned to Poland in 1964 to attend the opening of the Treblinka Memorial. Wiernik died in Israel in 1972 at the age of 83. On his arrival at Treblinka aboard the Holocaust train from Warsaw Wiernik was selected to work as a Sonderkommando; otherwise he would have been immediately gassed and killed that day. Wiernik's first job with the Sonderkommando required him to drag corpses from the gas chambers to mass graves. He was traumatized by his experiences and later wrote in his book: 'It often happened that an arm or a leg fell off when we tied straps around them in order to drag the bodies away.' He remembered the horrors of the enormous pyres where '10000 to 12000 corpses were cremated at one time.' He was also encouraged by occasional scenes of brave resistance. In chapter 8 he describes seeing a naked woman escape the clutches of the guards and leap over a three-metre high barbed wire fence unscathed. When accosted by a Ukrainian guard Trawniki on the other side she wrestled his machine gun out of his grasp killed the guard and shot another guard before being killed herself. When the SS recognized that Wiernik was a professional carpenter they put him to work constructing various camp structures including additional gas chambers. Given his skills Wiernik was not subjected to the same treatment as others and no longer had to handle dead bodies. He attributed his survival to being able to build structures needed in the camp. Given the shortage of skilled construction workers accustomed to the killing process Wiernik moved between the two divisions of the camp frequently. As a result he became an important contact between the camp zones when the revolt was being planned. Wiernik escaped Treblinka during the revolt of the prisoners on 'a sizzling hot day' of August 2 1943. A shot fired into the air signaled that the revolt was on. Wiernik wrote that he 'grabbed some guns' and after spotting an opportunity to make a break for the woods an axe. A camp guard in pursuit shot Wiernik with a pistol but the bullet did not penetrate his skin. Wiernik said he turned around and killed his pursuer with the axe. Wiernik continued to Warsaw hiding in a freight train. Wiernik assumed the name of Jan Smarzynski. He made contact with members of the Jewish underground working in the 'Aryan' part of Warsaw. They realized he was a valuable eyewitness of the extermination process in Treblinka. He was persuaded in late 1943 to write A Year in Treblinka in spite of his initial reluctance Wiernik had little education and was not a skilled writer. He took part in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising fighting in the Armia Ludowa. After the end of World War II Wiernik initially remained in Poland in 1947 he testified in the trial of Ludwig Fischer. He emigrated to Sweden and afterwards to the newly founded state of Israel. There in the 1950s Wiernik built a model of the Treblinka camp. It is displayed in the Ghetto Fighters' House museum in Israel. In 1961 Wiernik testified in the Eichmann trial in Israel. Jankiel Wiernik published Rok w Treblince A Year in Treblinka in 1944 as a clandestine booklet. It was printed through the efforts of the Jewish National Committee Zydowski Komitet Narodowy ZKN Bund underground organizations of the remnants of Polish Jews and the Polish Council to Aid Jews Zegota by means of an underground printer organized by Ferdynand Arczynski. The circulation was estimated by Wladyslaw Bartoszewski as 2000 copies. It was sent through Polish underground channels to London and translated into English and Yiddish. It was also printed in the US by American representatives of the General Jewish Workers Union of Poland ie. this copy.

WIDERSTAND IN WILMERSDORF. COVER TITLE. WIDERSTAND 1933-1945: WILMERSDORF.SCHRIFTENREIHE ÜBER DEN WIDERSTAND IN BERLIN VON 1933 BIS 1945. HEFT 7

199343370Berlin: GedenkstÃ¤tte Deutscher Widerstand 1993. 1st edition. Original photographic paper wrappers 8vo 192 pages. Includes illustrations. 22 cm. In German. Title translates as "Resistance in Wilmersdorf a neighborhood in Berlin. A Series on the Resistance in Berlin from 1933-1945. Part 7.â€ Includes bibliographical references pages 174-182 and indexes. ISBN: 3926082038; 9783926082039 â€œIn her 192-page book â€œResistance in Wilmersdorf".Felicitas Bothe-von-Richthofen documents the many acts people were able to undertake against a criminal social system. The chapter 'Unsung Heroes' recounts the stories of Berliners who hid refugees: '.and the many who came under the code name 'Black' who stayed with me for one or more nights or received other assistance because as undocumented immigrants they had no ration cards. They all needed clothing. Sometimes they came simply to wash the clothes they were wearing and to wash themselves.' Ms. Blochwitz known by the code name 'Black' helped many refugees. But she was not alone; in Berlin approximately 1400 people who found shelter with private individuals survived the Nazi terror. In Wilmersdorf the artists' colony at Laubenheimer Platz today: Ludwig-Barnay-Platz was considered a place of politically conscious confrontation with fascism. The 'Professional Association of German Stage Performers' and the 'Professional Association of German Writers' built three apartment blocks for their members in the late 1920s. By the spring of 1933 over 300 artists and left-wing intellectuals lived there including Ernst Bloch and Johannes R. Becher . Nazi jargon for this residential area was the 'Red Block.' To protect themselves from SA members the artists organized a self-defense force. Solidarity within the artists' colony soon came to an end after January 30 1933 and many residents fled into exile. Flight is certainly not the most extreme form of protest. Hildegard Henschel the wife of the last chairman of the Jewish community in Berlin during the Nazi era observed the deportation of the first Jews from the Grunewald S-Bahn and freight station in October 1941: 'SS officers some equipped with riding whips supervised the loading of the cars. The victimsâ€™ composure was admirable; everyone knew that resistance was impossible the only possible form of defiance was suicide. But if suicide failed it later led to accelerated evacuation.â€™â€ Translated from the German.
